I am no hydrologist, but an artisan well is water that makes its way to
the surface due to pressure in the surrounding rock, usually from a
lower elevation to a higher one.
The water along Turnagain Arm is under pressure from water seeping from
above, ~3000 ft of elevation, and contains everything in-between.
